Remember Last May, when SpaceX Became the First company to launch people in space using Dragon V2, that was a huge step forward for the space industry but now SpaceX is working on ways to get well over 100 people to the Moon by 2024 and to Mars by 2026. This will be historic as it will be the farthest into the universe man has gone.
Jon and I Speak about the Ethical, Business and Philosophical Boundaries that we need to cross or address to get there we also discuss other things in the space world like Starlink, Interplanetary Colonization and other ventures and the ramifications behind them and why Space is a difficult place to be right now.
Fun Fact: There are well over 67 Space Companies right now that develop space infrastructure for either Government or Commercial Use, it happens to be a big contention as Getting to space would be one of the biggest if not the biggest cost but that number is drastically going down.
The Space Economy and Infrastructure for that economy and colonial welfare is geared for long term growth not quarterly growth unlike most businesses and is either in Development or is limited by the law which is outdated and requires a massive update, Space is the next big frontier and with space there are infinite possibilities and multiple Finish Lines as well. It may not happen now but will take time.
Space is expanding rapidly but as we see that expansion grow we need to keep in mind that most infrastructure that is being built now takes time and scale to build so if prices to launch are expensive keep in mind that not long ago it used to cost a lot to fly but now it costs about as much as a day's worth of pay, someday Space could be really accessible but that takes scale and time both of which we have. Some say it could cost around 2 million or less by 2028 and at that point we could be seeing a space faring civilization arriving on certain planets or some places along the universe or in Planet Size Rotating Space Stations.
Space is a new frontier but with time Humans can conquer it.
